The clumsily executed climax reduces the quality of the film considerably.

But hold on--the mission is not quite so simple as it seems; his chase of the jewel thieves leads him to conspirators with plans for unleashing a nuclear armageddon on an unsuspecting planet. The majority of the action takes place on the gaudy, glittering streets of Las Vegas, as Bond negotiates the grotesque terrain with his customary aplomb and fancy mechanical gadgets. As always, he manages to dally with several sexy bombshells along the way, including the wonderful Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole. Connery is as suave and entertaining as ever, taking on the menacing Charles Gray, who is trying his hand at playing Bond's archenemy, Blofeld. Look for the car chase down a narrow alley. [More]

Reviews for Diamonds Are Forever
Bond looks better than ever, partly because Sean Connery has returned to play him.
Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties.
Fairly forgetable addition to the 007 series, bringing Connery's tenure to a unsatisfying close.
Diamonds Are Forever doesn't carry the same quality or flair as its many predecessors.
Assorted ladies, a few quick lines, and one good chase, making for a mediocre entry in the series.
A gentle burlesque of the story elements established by the first six entries ...
Le premier faux pas d'une série culte qui ne sera malheureusement pas le dernier.
The movie's momentum is such that one never has much time to react to its lack of reason, only to its sensations of speed and narrow escape, and to the splendor of its crazy gadgets and décor.
We see different movies for different reasons, and Diamonds Are Forever is great at doing the things we see a James Bond movie for.
